Public health genomics has evolved to responsibly integrate advancements in genomics into the fields of personalized medicine and public health. Appropriate, effective and sustainable integration of genomics into healthcare requires an organized approach. This paper outlines the history that led to the emergence of public health genomics as a distinguishable field. In addition, a range of activities are described that illustrate how genomics can be incorporated into public health practice. Finally, it presents the evolution of public health genomics into the new era of "precision public health."
公共卫生基因组学已经发展到能够将基因组学的进展负责任地整合到个性化医疗和公共卫生领域。将基因组学适当、有效且可持续地整合到医疗保健中需要一种有组织的方法。本文概述了公共卫生基因组学作为一个独特领域出现的历史。此外,还描述了一系列活动,这些活动说明了如何将基因组学纳入公共卫生实践。最后,介绍了公共卫生基因组学向“精准公共卫生”新时代的演变。
